What were you doing on Millenium new years eve (year 2000)?

Answer 1

Working. Since everybody thought that Y2K was going to be the undoing of many a computer system I had to stand by & if chaos broke out, get the computers back up & running. Fortunately, it was all a waste of time.

Answer 2

If you mean on the eve when 1999 turned to 2000, I was in a hotel suite in Sunnyvale, California with a group of at least a dozen other people. We were all there for a party being thrown by my friend Jenny. Some of the people were friends of mine; others were friends of Jenny's whom I met for the first time. We had food and drinks, played games, took pictures, hung out, listened to music and watched TV.

When the countdown to midnight started on TV, some of us had flashlights ready, because we wondered if the power was going to go out. (LOL - how silly this seems now!) We were feeling festive but also anxious, because of the HUGE hype that had been going on for weeks, regarding how all sorts of things are going to fall apart when the year turns to 2000.

Of course, nothing at all happened! *chuckle* Some folks left the party soon after, and some stayed longer. A lot of us (myself included) made the smart move of obtaining rooms in the hotel that night, because driving on New Year's is a frightening prospect! Plus, having rooms in the same hotel as the party enabled us to have some drinks and not worry about driving. I roomed with a few friends.

All in all, a GREAT way to ring in a GREAT new year! :D
